It took me a second to realise that this meant “shots fired” in the traditional sense of real shots actually being fired.

Robert Del Naja (3D) of Massive Attack was arrested for supporting Palestine Action today, despite the High Court ruling the ban unlawful. The Metropolitan Police state that they arrested 212 people at the protest, where people sat down, peacefully holding signs in Trafalgar Square.#PalestineAction #AbolishTheMethttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/11/met-police-make-arrests-at-london-palestine-action-protest

Reminder that those sympathetic to our current Prime Minister like to refer to him as a “human rights lawyer”. #PalestineAction #AbolishTheMet

Amazing that one arsehole bloke has managed to make every single normal person’s life measurably worse, all around the world.The Great Men theory of history is wrong, but the Massive Cunts theory of history is holding up pretty well. #Trump

Yes, yes, there are structural and systemic forces and causes, but this daft fucker is charging around like a structural bull in a systemic china shop. #Trump

Lend an increasingly middle-aged father a hand:I stopped using 😂 (cry laughing) to respond to my kid’s texts when they send me something funny, because I was told you should use 💀 (ded) instead.Child now tells me in no uncertain terms that I should not use 💀.I ask what emoji to use instead and “I shouldn’t have to be told”.So, what do *you* think is the right emoji, these days, for that?

The great thing about Fedi is that there are precisely 0 (zero) Gen Z on here to give us the right answer. You are all secondary sources, at best.

Bond villain has developed a device that will destroy the planet. The British government sends James Bond to offer him tax incentives to build the device on brownfield land in the East Midlands.

The plucky British are going to breeze through climate change with a fridge full of socks and pants. The Blitz spirit in action.

Currently in the café of the Derwent Pencil Museum. Kids are refusing On Principle to go round the museum despite the many pencil-based attractions. One has said that if I say “pencil” one more time they will blow their top.

Success! The kids caved and variously enjoyed and tolerated the Derwent Pencil Museum.Highlights as shown:- The World’s Largest Coloured Pencil!- The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Diamond Pencil!- Undercover WW2 map pencil!- Tiny pencil tip sculptures!Bonus alleged fact: the term “black market” originated from the illicit graphite smuggling trade in the 17th century! So the museum claims. I am Unconvinced.

One thing I did not enjoy about it was the reliance on two videos which were clearly made by AI and had that horrible uncanny look. This was Disappointing for a museum about a tool for art and creativity. I felt like staging a minor protest but I was enjoying the Pencil Content too much and forgot.
